Much like a Driver License, health care is a responsibility and not a right. The cost of which should not have to be born totally by my employer. If I had a One Hundred Percent deduction on the cost of medical coverage I would do it myself! My employer could then afford to pay higher wages! Sounds like a win-win scenario to me. I am going to spend the money anyway so why not give the deduction to me and lessen the load upon private industry? I happen to work in the medical trades and what I see are government mandated escalating medical-related costs bankrupting hospitals and clinics. It is not the treatment of those with health insurance that are harming us but the government in the way of private care that is doing so. We pay for the uninsured now – and it is a good thing that we do - so why should we make the government bigger and give them more ways to screw things up? Change the rules and get out of the way and we, the people, will fix our own health care woes.
